Sledders make their way up the hill below the vacant Governor’s Mansion as afternoon snow falls Tuesday afternoon in Boise. Private Fundraising for the mansion,which was donated by Idaho Billionaire J.R. Simplot, has resulted in $475,000 put into an account and $1.1 million in pledges. The amount raised falls far short of the $3.5 million needed for projected renovations.
